We put Mantis Tour balls in play with professional players from the HotelPlanner Tennis Tour UK — athletes who had never used them before.

No briefing. No expectations. Just tennis.

 

Within minutes, the reactions were clear:

“That feel is quality.”
“It’s so consistent.”
“It’s not dropping off.”

You Know Straight Away

At this level, players figure a ball out fast.

What stood out wasn’t just the initial feel — it was how long it lasted. The response stayed true, rally after rally, with no drop in performance.

Why We’re Supporting the Tour

Mantis is proud to sponsor the HotelPlanner Tennis Tour UK because it represents what we believe in — competitive, professional tennis where performance matters.

It’s a proving ground. Real matches. Real pressure. Real players who notice every detail.

That’s exactly where our products belong.

Built for Players Who Notice

These are players who hit thousands of balls a week. If something’s off, they feel it instantly.

So when they stop questioning the ball and just play — that tells you everything.
